You'll find it at other upscale pan-Asian restaurants around town, but you won't find it as good. Order the noodles with crispy shrimp cake (No. 25) or grilled chicken (No. 27).

There's plenty of other menu items to like, such as excellent pho noodle soup ($5.75) and seafood egg noodle soup.

You can't go wrong with the appetizers either, including the fat spring rolls stuffed with noodles, vegetables and shrimp or tofu ($1.50). Wash it all down with a tall, ice-cold glass of Vietnamese coffee ($1.75).

Eating here can sometimes feel chaotic and noisy because the chatter factor is high (not to mention the occasional screaming kid), but the good food makes up for it.

Don't confuse this restaurant with its sister one next door, which only serves pho. .
